Windchill Embedded Browser

Out of curiosity, does anyone know why Windchill still uses Internet Explorer for its default embedded browser? Last I checked, IE is more or less obsolete with limited support. I know you can change the browser, but just thought it was strange IE is still the default.

    Creo is switching the default embedded browser to Chromium in Creo 7.0.7.0 and Creo 8.0.3.0 - CS356984 - Default browser in Creo Parametric changed to Chromium. It looks like IE won't be an option in Creo 9.

      Thanks everyone for the replies. Glad to hear PTC will finally be moving on to a different default browser.

        We ran into some issues with the Chrome internal browser so I hope they fix them by then.  However, I do not remember issues.  I believe they were not show-stoppers but they were close.

          I some of the issues were scale and zoom related that needed manual fixing and then reset after restarting Creo.  I think there were some other display issues too.  This is all on Creo 4 and both WC11 and WC12.  Hopefully, chrome will behave better for us when on Creo7.
